I thought to myself, wasn't it you guys who let Number One gradually turn into a pervert? I stared into the other person's eyes and tentatively asked, "Actually, I think you should consider if it's your own problem. A nobody like me can just take away your ace Holy Son. Is it really my fault?"
That man didn't seem as angry as he was at first. I even suspected if this guy had just given up.
"It's okay. You don't need to be modest. You're really amazing, just as the rumors said. If I had known you were this hard to deal with, I should have killed you to eliminate future troubles."
Just listen to what he's saying! And what rumors? I clearly know that apart from a small family business, my family is practically good for nothing.
What's with this guy acting like I'm amazing, but the rumored me is even more amazing?
I squinted my eyes suspiciously and stared at him, asking, "Do you mean you've known about me for a long time?"
There was a hint of a smile in the other person's eyes. "What do you think?"
I raised my hands high and forced a smile. "Since that's the case, could you please let me off? Don't you still want me for the sacrifice?"
"It's too late."
As soon as I mentioned this, he seemed extremely angry, as did the people next to him.
I could clearly feel that when I brought this up, the looks in the eyes of the people around me were as fierce as those of hungry wolves.
"Carry him over to the furnace. I'll use his flesh and blood for the sacrifice."
When I heard this, I almost spat out a mouthful of water. What did he mean by using my flesh and blood for the sacrifice? Was he serious?
I felt like I was being completely crushed, but obviously, he didn't give me a chance. I felt my body go weightless as I was directly carried up.
"Let me go!"
I struggled desperately, but that guy just ignored me as if I were a puppet.
Several big men in black carried me forward, back and forth.
The dark tunnel was like a monster with its mouth wide open, ready to devour anyone who walked in.
I looked at the young man next to me and asked, "Do you guys hate me that much?"
The young man's face darkened. He turned his head and glared at me. "What do you think? If it weren't for you, would we be in this situation?"
"What do you mean 'in this situation'? You guys are still alive and kicking!"
The young man didn't seem particularly ruthless. In fact, he even looked kind - faced.
"What do you think? If it were really as simple as you said, that would be great."
The young man sighed, his eyes full of helplessness.
"None of the people who have ever come in here have been able to get out alive. Don't you understand why?"
I shook my head. "I don't know. Not at all. But judging from your looks, you should know something. But so what? I always feel you guys are being too sensitive. In my opinion, all this feudal superstition should be eradicated. What Holy Son and all that nonsense! It just doesn't make sense!"
"Shut up!"
Someone next to me couldn't stand it anymore. With a dark face, he pushed me forward.
"Keep walking forward. And don't talk nonsense with him."
He tugged at my sleeve and sized me up. His look made my hair stand on end and made me feel extremely uncomfortable.
Not far away, the fat guy let out a scream, which made my heart skip a beat.
Hearing the fat guy's scream, the leader in black showed a cruel smile. "Tell the clansmen over there to chop this fat bastard into mincemeat and feed it to the dogs. I'll make sure this bastard never gets out of this place."
I thought to myself, Fatty, you've got to hold on. Otherwise, I'll regret it for the rest of my life. But if we both die here, it would be nice to be good friends in the after - life.
The fat guy didn't know what I was thinking. If he did, he'd probably shout, "You jinx! Who wants to be your friend in the after - life?"
The sound of dripping water filled the cave. A beautiful female voice rang out. "Why did you bring him here? Where's the person I want?"
I turned my head and saw that it was none other than Hua Lian'er.
When Hua Lian'er met my gaze, her look made me feel like I'd seduced someone else's boyfriend and been caught red - handed.
Wait a minute. This must be an illusion! Even if someone likes men, they can't just get involved with anyone.
Hua Lian'er kept staring at me with that look as if I were a mistress. It must be an illusion. I kept hyping myself up in my mind, but Hua Lian'er's words shattered my self - hypnosis.
"You still dare to come here? Tell me, where did you seduce Big Brother to?"
"Wait a minute. When did you get so close to Officer Chen?"
"I knew he was approaching me with bad intentions. Sure enough, he was just using me. I'll kill you all, you despicable men."
As soon as Hua Lian'er opened her mouth, it was more thrilling than any TV drama.
"So you knew about A Jin's existence all along."
My mind was sometimes sharp and sometimes dull, but at this moment, my IQ suddenly went up. I stared at Hua Lian'er and asked, "Since you know everything, why did you do this?"
Hua Lian'er sneered. "What a joke! What did I do? I'm warning you not to talk nonsense."
I shrank my neck and thought to myself, What did you do? Don't you have any idea? This woman is really scary.
I forced a smile and raised my hands. "No, don't look at me like that. I have no opinion of you. I just hope you can spare my life."
I looked at her with a very sincere look in my eyes. She rolled her eyes at me and said with a smile, "Why do you think I'll spare you? You're thinking too much. I'll tell you now that at this moment, the only one who can save you is yourself. Now it's up to you. Let's see if that guy will come out and stand in front of me again for your sake."
At first, I didn't understand what she meant, but when she put something in front of me again, I immediately understood.
Hua Lian'er had been wearing something on both hands before. It was a walkie - talkie. This kind of old - fashioned device seemed a bit out of place here.
I forced a smile and asked, "What are you trying to do?"
"Nothing."
Hua Lian'er said with a smile, "I hope you can tell me what you want to do."
I raised my hands high. "God knows. I don't want to do anything."
"No, you do. You want him to come and save you, right? He's the first person you think of in a crisis."
